Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about payroll management and compliance

What’s the difference between basic wage and total wage in Hong Kong?

Basic wage is the guaranteed minimum payment, while total wage includes basic wage plus all allowances and benefits. Understanding this distinction is crucial for calculating statutory entitlements, overtime, and severance payments correctly.

Are employers required to contribute to the Mandatory Provident Fund?

Yes. Employers with one or more employees must enroll in an approved MPF scheme and contribute 5% of the employee’s relevant income (capped at a maximum monthly contribution). This is a legal requirement under Hong Kong law.

How many days of annual leave must employers provide?

Employees are entitled to a minimum of 8 days of annual leave per year under the Employment Ordinance. Many employers provide more, but 8 days is the statutory minimum for Hong Kong.

What deductions can be made from an employee’s salary?

Employers can deduct taxes, mandatory provident fund contributions, and amounts authorized by the employee (like insurance). However, unauthorized deductions or deductions that reduce wages below statutory minimums are illegal.

Who qualifies for maternity benefits in Hong Kong?

Female employees who’ve worked for at least 40 weeks are entitled to paid maternity leave and benefits. The entitlement includes a period before and after childbirth, along with financial benefits during the leave period.

What happens if an employer doesn’t comply with payroll regulations?

Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, legal action from employees, mandatory back-payment of unpaid wages, and reputational damage. It’s essential to understand and follow all statutory requirements.
